Dexo posted:I'm curious how he's going to be now that he's probably going to be the focal point of the offense once Wade is bought out. Probably not good because he's absolutely not the kind of player that can be the focus of an NBA offense. On a great team he would be like a 6th-8th man. R.D. Mangles posted:there is very little the chicago bulls can do that won't make bulls fans have aneurysms This is a fair point.

His cap hold was 11 million and his qo was 7 So he got about 5 million more than the qo and 1 mill more than the cap hold * which seems fair since he has ability and has started * I don't think Chi cares about cap space at the moment

Mirotic is a starter-level player so that contract is fine.EvanTH posted:So can he only veto trades involving him or does he have league-wide powers now If he can override the Bulls GM on all actions this might actually be a very savvy move.

leftist heap posted:I wish athletes were basically 1000x more political than they are. If athletes were that political I don't think they'd have any interest in playing sports. Depending on what kind of argument/scenario one was constructing (or ones political persuasion) it's not hard to make the case that athletes/sports/celebrities have been detrimental (and liabilities) to certain political parties/politicians at various points. Within current US the affiliation with Hollywood and celebrity in general is a massive liability in certain regions. You can see growing discontent and wedges as more and more people are refusing to watch any pro sports. Of course, it doesn't make sense fully as DJT is an extremely wealthy celebrity himself. But in politics very often it's not what you are or what you do but what you say.  That's brave of LBJ with his current stature. He must be of the mind that US political assassinations are a thing of the past.

DRPM has him as the 25th best defensive PF and DPM has him as slightly better than neutral. I think you are one of the people who think there are only 10-15 starting-level players at any position, but the NBA is 30 teams deep. Mirotic is probably in the lower-end of starters (though I feel like I could be convinced he's closer to 15 than 30).

Maybe we can find out what the Speaker of the House thinks about the Melo trade or find out what the new look Chicago Bulls plan to do about the State of Illinois' budget crisis and outstanding pension liabilities. Twitter is a scourge and it must be annihilated.

Dejan Bimble posted:I think it depends on your career field. If it's going to damage your future employment prospects you have to consider that. If you can create a corporations and work as a contractor then it's not as bad. But if you're going to lose say 30% of future earnings, you need to make up for that. Is that a worldwide average or a US citizen or something? When talking about jail time and recompense I'm reminded of that scene in Cape Fear (1991) when Max Cady (Robert De Niro) confronts Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte) (the man who screwed him into a 14 year sentence) and then tries to give him $10K for all that hard time. Max Cady laughs in his face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V_FcDZAOpE&t=135s I'd want eight figures considering the extra risk of doing this kind of thing with unstable athletes.

He doesn't look like a starter when he's out there and I'd be interested to see what happens to his DPRM if he started or played starters minutes. But I'm probably wrong so

But I'm probably wrong so This is definitely a case where I will eye test it all day long. Mirotic is insanely inconsistent and has terrible game instincts on offense. A month of amazing play + a few months of bad to unremarkable play might average out to an above-average player, but it's worthless when you have no idea what you're going to get from him on a night to night basis Before March, he was averaging 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist per game in 22.7 minutes, shooting 38.8% from the field and 30.2% from three. He's mostly not even good at being a stretch four!

I wonder if Wade is willing to accept a bench role at this point. He seems like he might embrace an opportunity to reduce his minutes, but there's always a weird pride thing about that. Off the top of my head, it seems like he'd be a pretty bad fit in the starting lineup of any of the Banana Boat teams. OKC could use the extra body the most, but he's probably the straw that breaks the camel's back in a hypothetical Russ/Wade/George/Melo grouping
